What makes it possible for groups of ordinary people to enter into—and even stabilize in—higher states of consciousness? What are the nuts and bolts of this extraordinary process and why is it so significant for the future of our species? In this in-depth WIE interview, collective intelligence pioneer, economist, and MIT senior lecturer C. Otto Scharmer asks spiritual teacher Andrew Cohen about the evolution of higher consciousness and the necessity for creating an enlightened revolution in human culture. Cohen describes his goal of taking “the Many” and creating “the One”, an ultimately challenging maneuver he believes holds the key to the next step in our evolution. Such a radical collective attainment occurs only when people are attuned to what Cohen calls the Authentic Self, the liberated expression of ones humanity free from the influence of ego. It is a profound leap that rests upon a shared desire to urgently create a new philosophical, moral and spiritual context for oneself and for the world. This is a rare and remarkable discussion about the future of humanity between two bold innovators in the field of collective intelligence, human development, and spiritual evolution.
